When it comes to the emperor who reigned the shortest, you may think of Liu He of the Han Dynasty, but in history, in addition to Liu He, there was another emperor who reigned for a very short time, he was Zhu Changluo of the Ming GuangZong. His reign was short, but he was not ousted from power, but after eating two red pill elixirs, he died. Many people may not understand why the two elixirs killed him? Don't worry, listen to me slowly.
In other words, when this Zhu Changluo died, he was only 39 years old, according to the life expectancy of normal people, he was originally a person who was healthy and could still be lively and jumpy, and should not die so early. But he had a problem, that is, lustful, after he ascended the throne, his father's wife Zheng Guifei sent him 8 beautiful women for him to enjoy. Zhu Changluo took a look at these beautiful women, and their figures were particularly good, so they began to sing with these beautiful women night after night. Everyone also knows that this person's physical function also has a limit, but Zhu Changluo does not exercise restraint, and as a result, because of excessive indulgence, he cannot afford to be sick.
In fact, this disease is not a big deal, as long as you rest more, eat some tonic to recuperate and recuperate, but no one can imagine that Cui Wensheng, the eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy, secretly replaced the tonic with a laxative, and the amount is still relatively large, as a result, after Zhu Changluo finished eating, he pulled his stomach non-stop, directly serious lack of water, and his whole body had no strength.
At that time, when the ministers of the DPRK saw this situation, they were all anxious to die, and there was a Hongxu Temple Servant named Li Kezhuo, who claimed that he had a red pill elixir to be offered to the emperor, and said that this elixir could bring people back to life, and Zhu Changluo, who was already weak, thought of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he ate a red pill elixir, and after seeing that his condition had improved, he took the second one. Who knows, after this second red pill Dan medicine was in the stomach, it wanted Zhu Changluo's life.
So, what are the ingredients of this damn red pill? Why did he take Zhu Changluo's life? In fact, this red pill dan medicine, is not a magic elixir, but with autumn stone, human milk, tatsu sand and other concoctions, this is a drug with a strong heat, and the eunuch gave Zhu Changluo to eat laxatives, its medicinal properties are exactly the opposite of the red pill, is a cold drug, for this reason, everyone think about it, two kinds of drugs that collide with each other, and they are both fierce medicines, Zhu Changluo, who is weak and weak, where he can stand it, wait until he has only death, but in the end, if Zheng Guifei did not enter the beauty, And if Cui Wensheng, the eunuch in charge of medicine, did not change the medicine, then Zhu Changluo would not die. So the question is, why did Cui Wensheng, the eunuch who managed the medicine, secretly replace the tonic with laxative?
First of all, everyone should understand that if this eunuch wants to be bigger and stronger in the palace, he must find a powerful patron, you see the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who is also the Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, he has the opportunity to become the nine thousand years old in people's mouths because he pleases Emperor Mingxi Zhu You, and Cui Wensheng also has a backer, but not the emperor, but Zheng Guifei, before Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, this Cui Wensheng was the most favored eunuch around Zheng Guifei, and later after Zhu Changluo became emperor, Cui Wensheng was arranged by Zheng Guifei to become the boss of the imperial pharmacy. Control the Emperor's medications.
And the laxative that Zhu Changluo took this time, that is, Zheng Guifei arranged for Cui Wensheng to replace, that is to say, the source of all this is most likely Zheng Guifei, but why did Zheng Guifei do this? In fact, it is still the curse of the throne.
Originally, in the Ming Dynasty at that time, Zheng Guifei was Zhu Changluo's father, that is, the most favored woman of the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, according to this degree of favor, this Zheng Guifei's son was the future emperor, however, unfortunately, Zhu Yijun slept with a palace maid surnamed Wang on a whim, and the palace daughter gave birth to the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo. As everyone knows, in the Ming Dynasty, it was the system of primogeniture, so this Zhu Changluo was made crown prince at the age of 19 and became the heir to the imperial throne.
However, this Zhu Changluo's position as the crown prince, sitting on the thin ice, after all, his father still has a Zheng Guifei often blowing in his ears, so this Zhu Changluo is always worried that his position as prince will be abolished, but he also has no way, can only be a low-key person, such a day has lasted for 19 years, to 1620 AD, with the death of the Wanli Emperor, Zhu Changluo finally ushered in his own spring and became the new Emperor Daming.
Zhu Changluo, who became the emperor, compared with his father, was much better, people did not go to the court every day, but were diligent in the government, and also promulgated a series of reform strategies, and also paid money to reward the border guards, for this, it attracted a lot of praise from the ministers of the DPRK, who thought that Zhu Changluo was a Ming emperor and that the Jiangshan of the Ming Dynasty would be even more magnificent.
But when Princess Zheng Guifei saw Zhu Changluo's political achievements, she was not happy, she caught one of Zhu Changluo's shortcomings, that is, lustful, so she immediately selected 8 beautiful women and sent them to Zhu Changluo, this Zhu Changluo looked at this delicate big beauty, naturally she couldn't hold on, and there was the ending I mentioned earlier.
But Zhu Changluo's death, there are also many doubts, such as why Li Kezhuo wanted to enter the red pill? He knew that Zhu Changluo was weak because he had eaten cold laxatives, but he sent a hot red pill, which was not to roast Zhu Changluo on the fire? Could it be that he is also a person of Zheng Guifei? And although all of this points to the culprit behind Zheng Guifei, zheng guifei is not the person who directly caused Zhu Changluo's death after all, so it can only be said that when it was replaced by laxatives, this may be that Zheng Guifei wanted to deceive Zhu Changluo, after all, who told him to rob his son of the throne, but let Zhu Changluo die, should not be in her imagination, after all, murdering an emperor is not a wise move, and all the unfavorable factors, pointing to her, is obviously not normal.
This is the same as the thief, stealing other people's things, is it not stupid to leave obvious evidence before stealing, just write, I did it, to catch me, isn't it stupid? So, if you think about it, a person who has been in the deep palace for so long, or the emperor's favorite concubine, her IQ is so low? Obviously impossible. In general, Zhu Changluo's death does have many mysteries, but his death has been hundreds of years ago, and the details of which we cannot verify at all, but I know that if he had not died so early, the Ming Dynasty would never have gone to its demise so early, after all, during Zhu Changluo's reign, the policies implemented were all the manifestations of a Ming Jun.
